“I was really scared coming into this class, and I don't think I could've had a better prof. You've always made us feel so comfortable and at home in class. This course was nothing less than enlightening and your teaching was incredibly insightful. Thanks to you, I feel extremely prepared to face any higher-level acting course. I have learned a lot of important skills in this class that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.” Ashfia Ahmed University of Calgary 2021
